Control Panel Descriptions
Following are descriptions of each button in the Next Transition Group :
~
Enable BG to “arm” the background layer for a transition.
• When BG is enabled, the selected PST source appears in the
bank’s preview monitor output.
• When BG is not enabled, the selected BG source appears in
the bank’s preview monitor output.
When the transition is performed, the PST source flips to BG .
If BG is off and DSK is on, the current BG source is held during the next
transition — even if a different source is selected on PST .
~
Enable DSK to “arm” a transition to or from the DSK layer, using the
source selected on the Phantom Key Bus . The red LED above the
button lights when the DSK is on.
• If the DSK is currently off and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key on. The key source appears in the bank’s preview
output.
• If the DSK is currently on and you enable it, the next transition
turns the key off. Here, even though the key is on, the key is
removed from preview — showing the bank’s
next look.
• Press and hold DSK to display the Key Menu , with the DSK
highlighted.
If DSK is off and BG is on, the key will not transition. If the key is
currently off , it stays off. If the key is currently on , it holds.
The following rules apply to both buttons in the Next Transition Group :
~
As you enable or disable buttons in the group, the selected layer appears
(or is removed) on the bank’s Preview output.
~
At the end of a transition (either manual or automatic), all buttons that
you enabled in the group remain on. This allows you to transition back to
the previous configuration.
~
Both buttons work in combination with the bank’s MIX , WIPE , CUT ,
AUTO TRAN button and the T-Bar . For example:
S
If you enable BG and MIX , and then press AUTO TRAN , the
transition automatically mixes to the selected source.
S
If you enable DSK , BG and WIPE , and then move the T-Bar , the
transition manually wipes to the selected source plus DSK.
S
If you enable DSK and then press CUT , the transition cuts the key
on or off.

Note The Key Menu can be used at any time to adjust DSK
parameters, whether or not the key is on. In Chapter 5, refer
